Bio
Leyinska Soto, SPHR
Cat is an extremely resourceful and professional business partner. Her ability to establish relationships with stakeholders is impressive, as is her ability to come up with creative solutions to everyday problems. It has been a pleasure to have her on my team!

Cathi and I worked on a number of recruiting assignments for Spherion VRT and in its new guise Sourceright Solutions QST. I am available to provide specifics to the comments below. Cathi commands a well-filled "toolbox" of recruiting techniques and resources. A lot of recruiters do. What sets Cathi apart is that she KNOWS WHAT TO USE WHEN. Cathi is a master of the two phases of recruiting. She knows the tools to use and how to use them to source candidates that not only meet but exceed the basic qualifications a client needs. That is the "science" of what we do. She is also a skilled interviewer/screener, able to peel back the layers that most candidates erect to get at motivations and talents the client needs to make salient decisions. That, to be sure, is the "art" of what we do. Finally, Cathi can work the two sides of our virtual world...she can handle both client- and candidate- facing roles with equal aplomb. This is something that few recruiters can do well, if at all. There is one "test" that I apply before I accept the request to write a recommendation. The answers to each of the following must be yes: * would I work on an assignment with Cathi again? * would I work FOR Cathi on an assignment? * would I hire Cathi to work for me? Cathi is a recruiter you want on your team...she is someone you want to LEAD your team.
